Two days later, on the morning.
The rain that had been falling for more than two days finally stopped. The weather had been very humid for the past two days, and since we couldn't take showers, all four of us felt sticky and uncomfortable.
But now that the rain has stopped, the air is much fresher.
It's 7:30 in the morning, and I'm standing on the second-floor corridor, breathing in the fresh air.
There weren't many zombies around this village. On the first day we arrived, Lu Yun and I cleared out all the zombies in the area, so we've been very safe here all this time.
And perhaps because this place is remote, we didn't encounter any living people.
Around eight o'clock, the four of us finished breakfast and started discussing the rest of the journey.
Lu Jing said, "I think we should stay here for a few more days. We don't know where to go now. This place seems quite safe, there are few zombies, and the environment is quite nice."
Lu Yun asked in surprise, "Sister, you don't mean you're planning to stay here, do you?"
Sister Jing smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. I didn't intend to stay here. I just thought we could stay a few more days and then figure out where to go before we set off again. Otherwise, if we just set off aimlessly, where will we end up?"
Fei Lichao said, "Wandering doesn't matter where we are. We'll just go and have fun as we go, and treat it as a road trip."
Jingjie said, "But this is very dangerous. And we can't go on like this forever. We definitely need to find a place to stay. No matter whether we go back to Jiajiang in the future, we need to find a safe place to live permanently. Otherwise, how can we wander aimlessly every day?"
Lu Yun rested her chin on her hands, pouted, and said, "Sis, I think you're overthinking things. We can think about the future later. Things will work themselves out. Why worry so much now? We've already been kicked out of Jiajiang. If we don't take a spontaneous trip soon, we'll be too old!"
Sister Jing looked helpless, shook her head and smiled bitterly, and finally looked at me and said, "Xiaonan, what do you think?"
I raised an eyebrow and smiled, “I’m easygoing, I think what you all said makes a lot of sense. But I think we can stay here a little longer. I checked, and both cars are low on gas, and we don’t have any more gas. We’ve also used up a lot of food in the last couple of days. If we really want to go on a long journey, we need to be fully prepared. We weren’t prepared enough before; a heavy rain has rendered a lot of our supplies unusable.”
"As for the destination and such, we can only discuss it slowly. This matter cannot be rushed."
Jingjie looked at me and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. Let's get the car gas sorted first, and then we'll set off to wander around. How about that?"
"Yes, yes! I wholeheartedly agree!" Lu Yun said with a smile.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Yun and I set off again, heading to the nearest city center.
Jingjie continued to stay with Fei Lichao.
We didn't know where the nearest city was, but fortunately we saw a road sign after leaving the village. The information on the road sign showed that the nearest city was called Sanyang City, a third-tier city, about ten kilometers away from us.
Ten kilometers isn't far, and we're going to find gasoline, so we might run into a lot of cars along the way.
As we walked along, Lu Yun started chatting with me.
Lu Yun said, "Lu Xiaonan, have you noticed that Fei Lichao and my sister have been acting a little strange lately?"
I looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's strange?"
Lu Yun said, "Haven't you noticed? My sister and Fei Lichao have been chatting a lot these past few days. Have you noticed?"
I frowned and thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. But what does it matter? There are only four of us in total. What's wrong with two of us chatting together?
"And then?" I asked, puzzled.
Lu Yun continued, "And then, didn't you notice that the way they looked at each other was very different?"
Curious, I asked, "Really? What's different?"
Lu Yun rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Are you stupid? I've explained it so clearly, don't you understand?"
I looked at Lu Yun with a puzzled expression, completely baffled by her words. Isn't it normal for two people to chat together? I'm chatting with Lu Yun right now, what's so strange about that?
"You're such a blockhead, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend," Lu Yun snorted.
"..."
Damn it, wasn't this about Sister Jing and Fei Lichao? What does this have to do with whether I have a girlfriend or not?
Not long after, I saw a car on the road ahead and drove over without hesitation. Before Lu Yun could say anything more, I had already gotten out of the car.
There were no zombies around, so I went to the car. Lu Yun got out of the car and followed me.
However, I was a little disappointed when I saw that the gas pump at the back of the car had been opened.
Lu Yun also noticed that the gas pump was open and asked curiously, "Huh, why is it open?"
I said, "It's obvious that someone beat us to it and took the gasoline from this car."
Lu Yun asked, "Then what should we do?"
I chuckled and said, "What else can we do but find the next car?"
Once back in the car, Lu Yun said, "Where was I talking about earlier? Oh, right, my sister and Fei Lichao, haven't you noticed something fishy about them? Every time I see the way they look at each other when they're talking, I get goosebumps!"
I blinked. Is there something fishy going on between Sister Jing and Fei Lichao?
What kind of shady dealings are going on? I glanced at Lu Yun's disgusted expression and immediately understood. I gave a wry smile. Could it be that these two have fallen for each other?
That can't be!
Lu Yun looked at me and said, "Hey, Lu Xiaonan, do you think there's any possibility between my sister and Fei Lichao?"
I asked, "You mean, could the two of them get together?"
"Yeah, do you think it's possible?" Lu Yun asked gossipily.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Actually, I think if they like each other, that's fine. Anyway, your sister is young and Fei Lichao isn't old either. There's nothing wrong with them being together. Why are you worrying so much?"
Lu Yun said, "No! I'm not worried, I'm just curious! Do you think that while we're out looking for gasoline, those two might have already... started doing that at home?"
"..."
I shook my head and smiled wryly, having to admire Lu Yun's wild imagination.
Fei Lichao's hand injury hasn't healed yet, and his physical condition hasn't fully recovered. If he wants to do that kind of thing, he should wait.
